The Auberg above Gerolstein is a rocky plateau formed from dolomite and part of the impressive "Gerolstein Dolomites" nature reserve, which has been protected since 1990 and covers approximately 102 hectares. Geologically, it is a reef formed around 380 million years ago in a warm, shallow sea, exposed by karstification and folding – typical features of this Devonian limestone reef. At an elevation of approximately 360 meters above sea level, the Auberg offers spectacular views over Gerolstein, the Kyll Valley, and the entire Volcanic Eifel region – a real highlight on tours along the Eifelsteig or local circular trails such as the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht" (Gerolstein Dolomites Eight). The trail leads through narrow crevices and past bizarre rock formations, providing a true sense of discovery while hiking. Botanically, the Auberg is a valuable habitat: rare orchids, nutrient-poor grasslands, juniper, and species-rich mosses can be found on the sparse Dolomite rocks – as well as bats in protected crevices. Smaller populations also use the area as a resting, breeding, and hunting ground. For Komoot users, there are several tour options: for example, Eifelsteig stage 9 (Hillesheim–Gerolstein) or the local "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht" (approx. 8 km), where the Auberg is a sublime intermediate destination. There's also a Reservoir–Auberg–Lissingen loop, an easy, family-friendly walk (approx. 4 km, 1 hour) with panoramic views and rocky outcrops.

The 699 meter high Ernstberg is the highest elevation in the Eifel after the Hohe Acht. Since the summit is covered in forest, you unfortunately don't have a clear view of the surrounding landscape of the Volcanic Eifel from up here. About 500 meters away and about 60 meters lower is the Eifel-Blick Ernstberg, which offers us a wonderful panorama in clear weather.

The Ernstberg is an old Pleistocene stratovolcano with a distinctive ring-shaped arrangement of welding slag and basalt deposits. Its summit consists of welding slag, which builds up a crater wall that is open to the east. This is where the basalt masses flowed out, forming a semicircle on the eastern slope of the mountain; from the Middle Ages until around 1930, millstones were quarried at the foot of the mountain.
